Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for reducing processing for received redundant data streams. A first network controller receives a first stream of data packets and a second network controller receives a second stream of data packets redundant to the first stream. The first network controller determines, using a value of an identifier of a received packet of the first stream of data packets, that a corresponding packet of the second stream of data packets having the value of the identifier has not already been received. In response to the determining, the first network controller outputs the first data packet. The second network controller determines, using a value of an identifier of a second packet of the second stream of data packets, that the first data packet has already been received and drops the second packet in response to the determining.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that sends a first message via an input output (IO) link, wherein the first message includes a first rendering asset and an identifier (ID) associated with the first rendering asset. The technology may also exclude a second rendering asset from a second message in response to the ID being shared by the first rendering asset and the second rendering asset and send the second message via the IO link, wherein the second message includes the ID. In one example, the ID is a hash ID.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods related to image taking and processing are provided. For example, some embodiments may contain a front facing camera and a back facing camera and can be used for including the image-taker as part of the images taken by the image-taker, for verifying authorship of the image, for creating documentary style still or moving images combining the images of the person creating the documentary and the images of the subject or the scene being documented, and for creating a wide field of views of still and moving images.

Abstract: The invention provides for a nanostructure, or an array of such nanostructures, each comprising a rough surface, and a doped or undoped semiconductor. The nanostructure is an one-dimensional (1-D) nanostructure, such a nanowire, or a two-dimensional (2-D) nanostructure. The nanostructure can be placed between two electrodes and used for thermoelectric power generation or thermoelectric cooling.

Abstract: As more internet service providers have more customers with high-speed internet access accounts and these customers access more multi-media rich data (such as videos), the network infrastructure of internet service providers becomes saturated. Thus, internet service providers are facing pressure to upgrade their networks. Thus, internet service providers need to optimize the usage of their existing networks. To optimize the usage of existing networks, a system of performing predictive downloading for data caches is proposed. The system for performing predictive downloading examines network traffic conditions and does not issue predictive download requests if the network is busy. By restricting predictive downloads to times when the network is not busy, the system utilizes an under used resource. Accurate predictions will reduce future network traffic. Incorrect predictions cause no harm since the transfers only occur when free network bandwidth is available.

Abstract: A phosphonium compound embedded in a matrix substrate wherein the phosphonium compound is selected from a group consisting of tris (hydroxyorgano) phosphine (THP), a THP+ salt (tetrakis (hydroxyorgano) phosphonium salt) or a condensate of THP and a nitrogen containing compound. The compound may be used to reduce the number of microorganisms in industrial systems and may also be used to reduce iron carbonate or iron, lead and zinc scale deposits.

Abstract: As more internet service providers have more customers with high-speed internet access accounts and these customers access more multi-media rich data (such as videos), the network infrastructure of internet service providers becomes saturated. Thus, internet service providers are facing pressure to upgrade their networks. However, high-speed digital networking equipment is expensive. Thus, internet service providers need to optimize the usage of their existing networks. To optimize the usage of existing networks, a system of delaying certain data requests is proposed. By delaying certain data requests, the various components in a network can shift data transfers from peak traffic times to lower traffic times. One useful application of delayed requests is the case in which a web client requests data ahead of schedule either through predictive methods or through subscriptions for desired data.

Abstract: The Cabbie Caller is an illuminated signal, specifically used to hail a taxi cab or vehicle for hire. It is a black, hand held device that emits a strong, high visibility blinking orange light. It replaces a chaotic, inefficient, unsafe mode of hailing a taxi, and provides significant safety, social, communication, environmental, and economic benefits to the people using it and to their communities.

Abstract: An electronic system, an integrated circuit and a method for display are disclosed. The electronic system contains a first device, a memory and a video/audio compression/decompression device such as a decoder/encoder. The electronic system is configured to allow the first device and the video/audio compression/decompression device to share the memory. The electronic system may be included in a computer in which case the memory is a main memory. Memory access is accomplished by one or more memory interfaces, direct coupling of the memory to a bus, or direct coupling of the first device and decoder/encoder to a bus. An arbiter selectively provides access for the first device and/or the decoder/encoder to the memory. The arbiter may be monolithically integrated into a memory interface. The decoder may be a video decoder configured to comply with the MPEG-2 standard. The memory may store predicted images obtained from a preceding image.
